Words Of Wonder

 

A word on a line
joined with many and more,
a story to tell 
from behind a closed door.

A line on a page
and a paragraph to make,
from a thoughtful sage 
to the ones who forsake.

A page in a book 
telling tales short and tall,
just have a quick look,
hear the whispering call.

A book on a shelf,
many dusty old tomes,
a wealth of words 
from across quiet rooms.

A history in words,
telling sad tales of pain;
of battles and bloodshed 
and tears shed in vain.

Tyrants and demons 
live within the short lines,
telling tales of tomorrow 
and the end of our times.

Words of science,
of nature and light,
of suns, stars 
and comets so bright.

Pages of magic,
of mystery and prose,
of light and laughter 
and faces aglow.

A library of life 
in unending rhymes,
of joyous love 
and wonderful times.

A letter, a word,
a line or a page,
thoughts laid down 
across eons of age.
